Everybody with an amp that has two channel inputs. Do you ever split your signal via Y cable/however somewhere in the chain and plug them both into your amp, using the volume controls for each channel as a "mixer"?

I like doing this with delay on one channel an "clean" on the other, or fuzz on one and clean on the other to get a cool blend.

Wat do?

IT'LL BLOW UP!!!

My Peavey Mark IV is great for this cause I can have one channel or the other or both so it's like 3 amps...

The red knob twin's kinda like this. It's normally a channel-switching amp, but if you only plug into one input it'll run the preamps in parallel. Or if you plug into both inputs on parallel mode it'll run one signal through the clean preamp and one through the dirty.

When I did that I'd like to get either something really massive and crushing with the dirty channel while I played over the top of it with my clean channel. Kinda like a half/clean shoegaze thing when I ran lotsa delay/reverb into it. The other way I ran it was to have the dirty channel a little dirty all the time and still have the cleans to give my fuzz some extra... Fuzz.

Could work nicely with a Boss LS-2 line switcher to flip between A & B channels/signal chains.

nice....

I'd like to run split signals into my AC30 (4 inputs, high/low clean channel, high/low top boost channel), something with stereo outs and I need an ABY anyways since the Handwireds don't have channel switching (seriously, wtf?). I do bridge the inputs occasionally right now, though.

I can split into both channels on the Mig, sounds pretty fucking huge. But usually for simplicity's sake (and because running stereo verb, which i use to split the signal, into one amp sounds messy, not as cool as you'd think), I keep it on the cleaner channel. It takes more kindly to my fuzz anyhows.

I've been running stereo out of a moogerfooger phaser into separate chains into an ac15. one into normal the other into top boost. so the volume controls are right next to one another for easy adjustment while playing.

Turns into a not-good mush more often than not.

I swear by stereo amp setups for punch and clarity whenever feasible, but that's not I t.

I always play a stereo set up live and practice, so no need to split the signal through one amp when I play two. I do, however, patch my channels on my Sound City 100 and any other four input amp I play. Usually always unless it's on bass, though sometimes on bass too. Just to get more gain options and volume variety through each volume knob.

yeah i picked up two fender blues deluxe back in the mid 90s for stereo situations. i still been having fun at the house mixing with the volume control on my ac15, not too much mush but not a lot of modulation going on with either "signal"

My friend has an Acoustic 140 that has two identical three knob channels. He uses an ABC switch to go from just his YBA-3 clean, to both amps rather clean, and then runs a third cable into the other channel of the 140 with all the knobs cranked. No pedals, three different gain levels.
